How to publish a Solidworks assembly on GrabCad without errors, missing parts or broken references

MechVision3D
in Modeling
1 0 Intermediate
Many SolidWorks assemblies shared on GrabCAD fail when opened: missing parts, rebuild errors, broken Toolbox components, or unstable mates. This tutorial explains a practical and proven workflow to prepare and publish SolidWorks assemblies that open correctly on any system, even on a fresh SolidWorks installation. Covered topics: How to correctly handle Toolbox components How to detect and block external references How to avoid rebuild errors and missing parts How to stabilize mates before publishing How to prepare assemblies for safe reuse by others The focus is not on theory, but on real problems encountered when sharing assemblies and how to eliminate them before uploading. If you want your models to be reliable, reusable, and well-received by the community, this workflow is essential.
